Rotkeil severum?

[jordanhunt]

Hi, I've had this Juvinile severum for just over a month now, it's about 2.5 inches long but I don't know what kind it is, is it a rotkeil or just a green, he has an orange anal fin and he has spots

Nice severum. Not sure which one it is. I started a thread that a lot of people posted pics of their severums see if that helps ya out.

I have posted on there, one person has a juvie rotkeil that looks like mine which is why I think it might be rotkeil

It's hard to say at this point. It looks like a normal green efasciatus to me but that could change as it grows.

I agree with Ryan. Most of the rotkeils I've kept don't get the red color until they reach 4-5 inches.

When all bars are showing count them. There should be 8 if its a rotkiel. If i'm counting right I believe yours has 9 bars.

This is one of our young when it was that size

My 1.5" Rotkeil has a red shoulder already

Well not red like an adult, but you can see it faintly around its gills

My juvi Notatus is spotty like that, but has more spots and is darker
